We Want To Hear From You If

You are a technical jack-of-all-trades and master of one – uncommonly familiar with a wide array of data analytic techniques, applications, and programming languages; you know the methods, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to use the right tool for the job. But more than that, you possess uncommon or exceptional proficiency in at least one technical specialty (e.g. programming languages, statistical techniques, machine-learning analytics, web development, etc.)

You are a business thinker – project-minded, down-to-earth and strategic. You focus on customers, their viewpoints and real-world priorities. You balance pragmatic choices, and you appreciate the robust elegance in the path of least resistance to a solution. And you stay always on the lookout for new problems and new possibilities for growth.

You love learning – You don’t rest on your laurels, and you enjoy honing your mind. You have diverse interests; you have fun learning new ideas, growing your skills and sharing the experience with others.

You communicate and collaborate effectively– you know how to collaborate in diverse teams both large and small. You can switch confidently between following and leading as circumstances dictate. You are respectful, honest, and you strive to understand as much as to be understood.
